Pre op surgery diet is hard!



Recommended Posts

On day 3 of my pre op surgery diet and getting meals planned ahead of time and ideas for foods I will be able to eat. The problem is, it is hard to think about the pureed foods I will be able to eat because right now anything sounds better than a Protein Shake. What I wouldn't do for some low fat refried Beans or some low fat cottage cheese.

It may not be easy.......but it's effective.

I wound up dropping 17 lbs in 13 days.

I Imagine how well things would go were I able to muster the discipline to stick with it for several months.

I'm not required to do it but I wanted to get started pre surgery but it is sooo hard to stick to! That's why I need this surgery in the first place!!

I can't use phentermine to kick start it either since I'll have anesthesia Ina week. Grrrrr

My Drs office had 7 of us finish at same time (which is unusual) and started all of us on the pre op liquid diet together. Since so many of us I'm the last one and ends up am on it for 27 days. The first 5 days were difficult, but it's gotten so easy now. My surgery is on the 28th! Only 10 more days now! Then two weeks after more on it. Piece of cake! Snap snap! Lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
